Hello from Hell..................

Original post by Sassy

Sorry just venting.
If you've noticed, I've been quite MIA.
I am now a wife, a stepmother, and a student (thanks to University of Phoenix online) an employee, and still a sibling a daughter, and a friend.
I've been sick with migraines for the past few weeks, and other stomach ailments. I've been trying to balance my life and work and school and everything is overwhelming.

I don't get to see my siblings, I hardly have a moment alone with my husband, and when I do, guess what? I'm sick with a migraine again
I'm on medication like every day.
Work has been so busy I can hardly breathe for a minute or call DH to tell him I love him. I barely take a lunch break these days.
When will things get easier? When will I be able to RELAX?
Am I trying to do too much at once?

You don't really have to reply, I'm just venting. Thanks

I'm sorry you're feeling overwhelmed. Being many roles in life is very difficult. Would your life be a little bit easier once routines are set? In the meantime,

I have several family members who suffer horribly from migraines on a pretty regular basis, so I know what torture you must be in!

I am so sorry that you're overwhelmed and not feeling well right now. Do you have ANY time on the weekends to just unplug the phone and be alone with DH? You need to allow yourself time for your own well-being.

Re: Hello from Hell..................

Thank you all ladies so much. I am feeling better today. Still quite busy, but not as crazy.

I think that my life just got real busy real fast. I had this feeling that after the wedding, I would be RESTING, LOL

I just started school again. So that's taken time away from me. It' s so demanding, but I'm determined to follow it through.
As for being a stepmother, I have stepped into my role 100% and love it, but it is also very time consuming.
Work for whatever reason has become almost unbearable. Maybe b/c we just got a whole bunch of new clients? Also, I was slacking so much before the wedding, now I'm actually expected to be productive. WOW !!!!!
Plus I still want to see my sisters, and my Dad, and my friends. But I don't want to take away too much time from my new hubby. That is one thing I've actually been good at. Between him and my SS, they have a lot of my attention now. I've even started cooking more regularly, DH is quite pleased

With all of that said, I think it would all be bearable without the migraines. When I have to take 2 days off in a row, everything else falls behind, so then I have to play catch up. It just gets overwhelming, but I know I'll be alright. I think a couple of you said to get into a routine. I am going to try my best to do this, so there will be some normalcy to my busy life.


So thank you once again for all your responses. It makes me feel much better to read all the hugs. Thank you all so much.

Hang in there Liz. There is always a light at the end of the tunnel, though I understand sometimes the harder you work, the further away it seems!
